1 Maccabees 9:67 In-Context

65 But Jonathan left Simon his brother in the city, while he went out into the country; and he went with only a few men.

66 He struck down Odomera and his brothers and the sons of Phasiron in their tents.

67 Then he began to attack and went into battle with his forces; and Simon and his men sallied out from the city and set fire to the machines of war.

68 They fought with Bacchides, and he was crushed by them. They distressed him greatly, for his plan and his expedition had been in vain.

69 So he was greatly enraged at the lawless men who had counseled him to come into the country, and he killed many of them. Then he decided to depart to his own land.
